Book - Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We're in Without Going Crazy

By Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone Paperback, 170 pages, published 2012. Contains Bibliographic Notes, Resources, and an Index. Very good used condition. Slight cosmetic wear on the corners (see pics) and two very small dog-ears, but otherwise this copy is ship-shape. No stains, no rips. Spine is strong and all pages intact. "The challenges we face can be difficult even to think about. Climate change, the depletion of oil, economic upheaval, and mass extinction--together these crises create a planetary emergency of overwhelming proportions. Active Hope shows us how to strengthen our capacity to face our task so that we can respond with unexpected resilience and creative power. Drawing on decades of teaching, these authors guide us through a transformational process informed by modern psychology, spirituality, mythic journeys, and holistic science. This process can equip us with tools to face the mess we’re in and help us play our role in the collective transition to a life-sustaining society."
